ho nice!
i will immediately use the reserve you made, looks very good

[new_civilian]

Gee, cool!

I tried to find out what non-transparent smoke looks like and made some tests, here the results:

You have to see it animated, it wobbles a bit. I am NOT sure if this is useful, though   

[new_civilian]

Here another smoke version, transparent and less obstructive.  Btw, my non-transparent smoke is not really playable, everything is completely hidden and control of your units becomes a burden  :-D

Both files were initially based on the AlternativeSmoke-mod, fwiw.

I worked more on the reserve graphics to make them fit in even better.
I made two versions, the first with a harder edge and the second one slightly smoother

they are not translation-friendly... so kinda meh

There's a symbol-variant in the first post, it should be easy for a talented modder/programmer like you can simply copy those symbol parts and paste them. I would do so myself, but atm I am in a library and not at home.

And feel free to use the files in any way, maybe you can use them as a template or as inspiration.

Here some semi-transparent ethereal versions in different colors, some with glowing eyes, i personally use them as cloaked units.

I fooled around with the auto-cannon bigob files from iirc the X-Files and just realized rather surprised how nicely the barrelpart looked now, maybe someone can use that drilled/hole look for another weapon:

Ok here the two (final) versions of the reserve.png. Had to change one faulty pixel.

I removed the tiny shadow under the text in version3.

And the symbol version if someone wants it.

Here is a quick-glued inventory pic of rocket launcher tank. Maybe someone can use it.

[new_civilian]

Gee, thanks Nord. I took the liberty of uploading a recolored version of your pic (for alien alloy tanks). All credits belong to Nord.

My first attempt at modifying sprites. I took the wooden wall from the default urban tileset and tried to make a "ruined" looking version, with a part of the structural elements exposed. How it is? Is the format usable?

Hello and congrats on your beginnings

The tile looks good, definitely doesn't look like a beginner's work. Nice work on the shading. All I'm worried that if you place these in a row, it will look too regular. This is a general problem with destroyed/dilapidated tiles - any damage gets repeated, which makes things much more orderly than it should be. Or you can make many, many tiles with various small differences, but then it will take a large part of tile limit.

I altered a tree, adding some alien growths and discolored leaves.

What's the best way to test sprites? Is there a quick way I could get them into MapView?

[Solarius Scorch]

Hmm, interesting, hybrid forest.

For making tiles you need MCDEdit first. It's a very useful program for terrain editing. Just take FOREST, swap the appropriate tiles and save as a new terrain.

...Actually, let me do it for you!

Unpack the file, rename the terrain to FOREST, back up your FOREST tileset files, copy the new terrain into the game folder. Run a forest mission.
